This document discusses teaching strategies and resources used for different student groups. It describes programs developed for sun safety and teaching numbers that included interactive lessons and grouping students by ability level. It also mentions using hands-on literacy resources and a shared learning experience making sandwiches to link to a book. Feedback from a mentor teacher addresses the candidate's performance on standards about content knowledge, teaching strategies, and selecting resources.

1. STANDARD 2: KNOW THE CONTENT
AND HOW TO TEACH IT
2.1 Content and teaching strategies of the teaching area

2. PDH Program:
This PDH program was developed in order to fulfil the Early
Stage 1 Syllabus outcomes specific to Sun and Water Safety.
This program incorporates collaboratively interactive lessons
that work to develop students’ social and intellectual
development through the concept of ‘Safety’.
Sun Safety Student Work Sample:
This work sample provides evidence of students’
collaboratively interactive pair work as they participated in
creating their own sun safety poster to present to the whole
class. Through this initiative, students were motivated to
present their best work to their class peers.

3. TEN Program:
This program provided explicit content specific to each
students individual learning level. Students were divided into
groups of level of ability (i.e. perceptual, figurative and facile),
in which classroom learning activities were implemented
specific to each groups learning needs.
TEN Subtraction Work Sample:
This provides evidence of higher level of ability
students in the ‘facile’ group who received
differentiated content to suit their higher order
thinking ability.
